🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

fshfsinfo [-B bodyfile] [-E identifier] [-F path] [-o offset] [-dhHvV]
          source

look at that little lineup of flags, they're so cute, they ate 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

fshfsinfo is a utility to determine information about a Hierarchical File System (HFS) volume. no notes. that's the job. it's giving "I just need the facts and I need them now" energy ✨

fshfsinfo is part of the libfshfs package. and libfshfs is a library to access the Hierarchical File System (HFS) format. so yeah, it's a whole family situation 🫶

source is the source file. that's your input, your main character, the file you're pointing at 👑

The options are as follows:

• -B bodyfile — output file system information as a bodyfile 📝
• -d — calculate a MD5 hash of a file entry to include in the bodyfile (yes, MD5, it said what it said, no cap)
• -E identifier — show information about a specific file system entry, or literally just say "all" if you want the whole buffet 🍓
• -f file_system_index — show information about a specific file system, or "all" again, queen of options ✨
• -F path — show information about a specific file entry path 🛣️
• -h — shows this help (hi, that's this, you're here 🙈)
• -H — shows the file system hierarchy 🌈
• -o offset — specify the volume offset, like, scoot it over a lil bit ➡️
• -v — verbose output to stderr 🗣️
• -V — print version 🏷️

heads up bestie: -d only matters for the bodyfile, so don't be out here expecting MD5 magic somewhere else 💀

💖 EXAMPLES 💖

okay this is the moment. the slay. look at her go:

# fshfsinfo hfsplus.raw
fshfsinfo 20220727

Hierarchical File System information:

Volume information:
        Name                            : hfsplus_test

see how it just. tells you the name. hfsplus_test. iconic. no notes 💅

---

👑 DIAGNOSTICS 👑

Errors, verbose and debug output are printed to stderr when verbose output -v is enabled. and listen — verbose and debug output are only printed when enabled at compilation, so that's a build-time thing, not a you-thing. iykyk 🌈
